Xixi, China s first national wetland park | Stories shared by Xi Jinping shanghaisun.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from shanghaisun.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
It was the third week of March, our newspaper and website were filled with stories about COVID-19 and I naively thought a sweet story about a pedal car in Lancaster could serve as a distraction from the spreading coronavirus, cancellations and growing restrictions.
The scope of what was happening had not fully set in, even though Major League Baseball shut spring training down four days after we returned from a family trip to see the Milwaukee Brewers in Arizona.
Schools, businesses and other events were beginning to restrict access or closing altogether. But I still thought a trip to southwestern Wisconsin to provide our readers with something that didnât revolve around the virus was doable. And this is when I realized that virtually nothing was going to be immune.

LUSAKA, Zambia, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Bangweulu Wetlands in north-eastern Zambia has received a small founding population of cheetahs - the first of their species to return to this unique community-owned, protected wetland in almost a century.
The introduction of an initial three cheetahs from South Africa results from a longstanding partnership between Zambia s Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW), six Community Resource Boards (CRBs) and conservation non-profit African Parks, which has managed Bangweulu Wetlands since 2008. They worked in conjunction with the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) Cheetah Range Expansion Project, which sourced healthy individuals from reserves in South Africa to re-establish a secure population in Bangweulu.

The Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) has submitted a complaint to the RAMSAR Secretariat, requesting that the body investigates the destruction of wetlands in the Codrington Lagoon National Park on Barbuda.
GLAN, in a release, said it submitted evidence of the destruction to the Geneva-based body that oversees the implementation of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance to which Antigua and Barbuda is a signatory.
The group has asked the secretariat to urgently intervene by arranging an independent advisory mission to visit and advise on ongoing and future threats to the protected wetlands.
